QUALITY SYSTEMS ANDWORKMANSHIPMcKee Carbide Tool encourages the continuous quality im-provements our customers expect. To optimize quality and min-imize costs, we actively track metrics such as rework, lotacceptance, and on-time performance. Using Total Quality Man-agement (TQM) methods, we follow a team approach to im-proving overall performance through proactive measures suchas preventive maintenance and equipment upgrades.

Experience and training count when providing precision ma-chining services. An ongoing training and qualification programprovides cross-training on various machine tools, hones skills,and assures manufacturing flexibility and agility.

A FOUNDATION OFCUSTOMER SERVICEMcKee Carbide Tool was formed in 1975 to provide precisiontooling and machining services. The company established asolid reputation for providing innovative services, with all prod-ucts produced to customers’ specifications in impeccable sur-roundings. Equipment is updated to meet market needs,training and apprenticeships guarantee qualified workers, andmanagement prides itself on job tracking and efficiency systems.

The McKee Division’s reputation for strong customer service isenhanced by Gasbarre’s commitment to Total Quality Manage-ment and continuous improvement.

Design and Manufacture of Tooling forthe Electronics & Advanced Materials Industries

EXACT TOOLINGTECHNOLOGYThe variety of machine tools available at McKee demonstrates

our investment in advanced technologies. In 1998, a Sodick

six-axis, CNC, wire EDM machine added increased capacity,

flexibility, and part complexity to our operations. With this

machine, McKee is able to meet the challenge of intricate

geometries while improving overall part quality and reducing

setup, run-time, and secondary operations. The slip clutch

illustrated in the photo below makes use of all six program-

mable axes of the EDM machine.

Precision grinding is McKee’s strength. Whether working

with tool steels, ceramics or carbides, you are assured of

repeatability and accuracy.

The complex geometry of this slip clutch is no prob-

lem for the rotary table on our six-axis wire EDM.

This machine offers tolerances to one ten-thou-

sandth and great flexibility.

We offer great flexibility with this four-axis vertical

CNC machining center, the largest of our four CNC

centers.

McKee Carbide Tool Division of Gasbarre Products

specializes in tooling and precision machining of

components for the electronics and advanced

materials industries. We have an uncompromis-

ing commitment to customer satisfaction, demon-

strated by attention to detail, overall quality and

delivery speed. Rely on us as a trusted partner in

success.

Our experienced machinists and well-equipped tool and die

facility let us tool many complex shapes and materials, in-

cluding ceramics, carbides, specialty/advanced plastics,

stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and mild steel. For ex-

ample, we precision-grind tough carbides and ceramics,

mill and lathe heat-resistant plastics, and achieve fine toler-

ances when working in aluminum. Miniature compacting

tooling for tantalum capacitor and other miniature electronic

components is a specialty.

McKee can recommend design modifications for easier

manufacturability, reduction of cost, streamlined process-

ing, and better performance. Let us work with you to make

the production of your component as efficient as possible.
